About this property
Beautiful Cottage by the Bay, Isle of Islay
Beautifully renovated two bedroom cottage overlooking the sheltered Bay at Portnahaven, a small fishing village on the Isle of Islay. The lounge and master bedroom have stunning views of the sea and beach where you can watch the seals swimming and sunbathing on the rocks, the small fishing boats and stunning sunsets.
It is the ideal base for exploring the Isle of Islay by car, cycle or the local bus that stops at the top of the street! In the village itself there is a small store, a craft shop for souvenirs and the local pub serving drinks and food just a short stroll around the bay.
With a log burner for cosy nights in with a local whisky in hand, the cottage has a large L shaped sofa and soft cosy blankets to make you feel at home after a day of adventure.
The master bedroom has a king size bed and stunning views of bay and sea. The second bedroom has bunk beds with a small double and single on top, overlooking the garden to the rear of the property. It is perfect for a couple or family to enjoy.
A brand new kitchen with all amenities you may require with coffee maker, microwave etc.
A brand new bathroom with large walk in shower, modern sink, WC and large towel rail to warm the thick soft white towels for you.
There is private parking to the rear of the property, where there are steep steps with a handrail for assistance down the tiered garden to the house. You can drive to the front of the house, for those who would prefer to avoid the steps and there are 2 steps at the front of the house.
The tiered garden has great views of the sea with a BBQ to enjoy.
Whether you want to sample the variety of whisky distilleries on the island, cycle around the island, explore the history and culture or soak up the sand and sea on the beautiful beaches, Islay has so much to offer and the cottage gives a cosy home from home to relax and unwind.

About the host
Hosted by Achnaha
Born in Australia, lived in Scotland since I was 10 and have always loved the sea, no matter what the weather - my happy place is by the sea. Career has been in hospitality, tourism and events and now loving renovating properties to be special holiday homes.
Why they chose this property
My first holiday to Islay was 7 years ago and our family fell in love with the island. Since then I have been searching for the perfect holiday home for families to enjoy. Portnahaven is a romantic, quiet village and the house has stunning views of the beach and sea and has a warm home from home feel. You can spend the day sitting at the dining table watching the seals swim and sunbath!
